Transfer Carriage
11.2 TRANSFER CARRIAGE
11.2.1 Transfer Carriage Description
The transfer carriage, along with the transfer cylinder,
make up the “Place Ace” feature. This feature makes it
possible to land materials from a parked, level vehicle by
transferring the boom load forward at any height. The
operator can then retract the boom and forks by moving
the entire boom assembly rearward without driving the
vehicle on uneven terrain.
11.2.2 Transfer Carriage Operation
The transfer carriage is used to place a load directly over
the landing point. The transfer carriage allows easy
placement of the load without moving the vehicle.
(Consult load charts and the vehicle’s Operator’s Manual
for transfer capacities in the transferred or fully retracted
positions.)
The transfer carriage should be checked and repaired
only by experienced service technicians who are aware
of all safety instructions and particular component
features.
11.3 TRANSFER CARRIAGE
MAINTENANCE
The transfer carriage assembly consists of the carriage,
cylinder, hoses and supporting hardware.
Before beginning, conduct a visual inspection of the
vehicle, work area and task about to be undertaken.
Read, understand and follow these instructions.
After servicing the transfer carriage, perform the
following:
1. Check wear pads. (Refer to Section 11.3.3, “Rear
Wear Pad Check,” and Section 11.3.6, “Front Upstop
Wear Pad Check.”)
2. Check for proper operation by operating all boom
and transfer carriage functions through their full
range of motion several times.
3. Check roller gaps. (Refer to Section 11.3.10, “Rear
Roller Gap Check,” and Section 11.3.12, “Front
Roller Gap Check.”)
WARNING
DO NOT service the vehicle without following all
safety precautions as outlined in the “Safety
Practices” section of this manual.
